Since I've had PN, I never really had anyone to talk to until coming to this forum, so naturally I want to compare and see how others are doing/managing. If people could just post personal experiences and whatnot to the following questions, it would be greatly appreciated

1. Do you have chronic pain, pain during activity, or both?
2. What parts are affected (just hands, feet, or legs also?) Where is the pain and where is the numbness?
3. What are your general activities during the day? Do you work?
4. Do you exercise, how much, how intense?

Sorry, I know it's a bunch of questions, but I think everyone could benefit from learning about others in the community.

I will answer the above:
I have pain mainly during activity, and residual burning feet. Random chronic pain does occur, but it generally doesn't last long anymore. It used to be terrible pain for 2+ hrs at a time. My hands and feet both experience pain, and there is numbness in them also. The feet are much worse. I currently don't work and had to quit school so close to finishing because I can't drive and I generally watch a lot of TV and movies during the day. I'm not very active, I wish I was, and exercising hurts terribly at times to the point where my hands can't grip anything. I try my best to walk and lift light weights.
